From the church up into the forest, along the Stations of the Cross to the "Jagabild." The legend tells that the head hunter Greiner fell into the hands of poachers. They tied him with his head down over an anthill onto a beech tree. In distress, he prayed to the Virgin Mary. A white stag bit through the bonds and saved him from death. In gratitude, he set up a picture of the Virgin Mary. Later a chapel was built. It takes about 20 minutes to the summit of the Haugstein, the highest elevation in the Alpine foothills (895 m). To the right of the chapel, a forest road leads to the district road, right further in the direction of Zigeunerbrunn and then left down to the quarry. Through the forest, it goes downhill to Engelhartszell.Tip:
